Seahawks DT Nazair Jones is a testament to the human spirit

Posted May 7, 2017
When Nazair Jones was a junior at Roanoke Rapids High, he woke one morning to find his legs were no longer working. After having played a game the night before, Jones tried to get up and walk to the bathroom, but his legs wouldn’t take him there. His back tightened, pain shot through his legs and he was stuck standing in place. (USA Today)
